there are a few water fleas in the winter because they are ectotherms, they use temperature to regulate their bodies and they dont like the cold that much...you can do other research if this isn't helpful!
Fleas can drown in water within a few minutes to a few hours, depending on the temperature and conditions of the water.
Fleas can drown in soapy water within a few minutes.
Some fleas are there but most fleas stay on.
In the winter there are definitely not as many fleas, as it is too cold. The answer is no, you do not need to treat your cats for fleas in the winter. But if your cat has had fleas recently, the best choice is to play it safe, and treat them at least once. Hope I helped!
Yes, fleas can survive in water for a short period of time, usually up to a few days. They are able to float on the surface and are equipped with adaptations that allow them to survive in water temporarily.

The Black Death disappeared in winter because the whole plague came from infected fleas, and in the winter, fleas are dormant, so the fleas couldn't bite people to spread the disease. However, in the summer, fleas are not dormant, so they continue to spread the Black Death to people. This is ironic because most sicknesses are worse in the winter than in the summer.

Yes, fleas can come off in water. Water can be effective in removing fleas from pets, as it can drown and dislodge the fleas from the pet's fur. However, using a flea shampoo or medication specifically designed to kill fleas is usually more effective in completely eliminating them from pets.
A few water fleas (Daphnia) prey on tiny crustaceans and rotifers, but most are filter feeders, ingesting unicellular algae and various sorts of organic detritus including protists and bacteria. They also eat forms of yeast, but mostly in laboratories or controlled environments. Daphnia can be kept easily on a diet of yeast.
